lyrics
Just like Orestes, with his naked knife suspended
Just like Cassandra, with her tongue too thick to bleed
I unveil you, standing so young beside it –
I will be there waiting for you at the guillotine
I put my hands on your crown, infusions last for days
I saw him before you hit ground, he was sucking you away
Your Orion gazing – he had stars hidden for play
Go where your reason defends you,
don’t pause before the gate
You said you were that lucky kind of lover
you’d never pay for your own grave
But until I wait for you,
who’ll save your cradle from this cage?
…heroes, in moments like these
when you become the man you
didn’t think you could be
watch, while I change,
rearrange my neck bones
who’s falling now?
did you think it was me?
Here, where these unstable lines
converge beneath you, follow mine
Here, where these unstable lines converge,
I keep you darling, all alone in conversation
Here, where the unfriendly crease of time
reminds you to stay near me in our
strange decline…
Just like Orestes, with his naked knife suspended
Just like Cassandra, with her tongue too thick to bleed
I unveil you, standing so young beside it –
I will be there waiting for you at the guillotine
Just like Cassandra, with her tongue too thick to bleed
I unveil you, standing so young beside it –
I will be there waiting for you at the guillotine
I put my hands on your crown, infusions last for days
I saw him before you hit ground, he was sucking you away
Your Orion gazing – he had stars hidden for play
Go where your reason defends you,
don’t pause before the gate
You said you were that lucky kind of lover
you’d never pay for your own grave
But until I wait for you,
who’ll save your cradle from this cage?
…heroes, in moments like these
when you become the man you
didn’t think you could be
watch, while I change,
rearrange my neck bones
who’s falling now?
did you think it was me?
Here, where these unstable lines
converge beneath you, follow mine
Here, where these unstable lines converge,
I keep you darling, all alone in conversation
Here, where the unfriendly crease of time
reminds you to stay near me in our
strange decline…
Just like Orestes, with his naked knife suspended
Just like Cassandra, with her tongue too thick to bleed
I unveil you, standing so young beside it –
I will be there waiting for you at the guillotine

Masterpiece of Crossover prog. It blends perfectly Chamber pop, Folk Rock, Neoclassical music and Progressive Rock. A flawless record

A very difficult album to categorize, it spans genre; or perhaps ignores is a better description. In general one could call it avantprogfusion with occasional dives into the quasi-classical.While he doesn't sound at all like Zappa, I can't help but feel Zappa is his spiritual godfather. This is VERY good.

Another gem of rock history for half the price, thanks to a "Cuneiform" promotional offer. Phil Miller has left his glow-in-the dark footsteps forever as one of the sculptors of the "Canterbury" sound, while being a member of "Matching Mole", "Hatfield and the North", and "National Health". He always was more on the "fusion track" of "Canterbury", and fusion is what he did later. My favorite tracks are those three he plays alone using a lot of MIDI guitar. Great fretless bass on the other ones!
